copying between shares

[Michael Stöckel]

this seems to be a bug and not a security issue

having two shares on a samba server but on
different disks it is possible to copy/delete
a file from one share to another but not
to move (using a win98 workstation).

Using the same disk moving is possible.

Some time before it was possible and Windows
made the copy. Now it seems the samba-server
has to copy and doesnt.

this is samba 2.2.0.15, kernel 2.4.4, suse 7.2


There was another bug in previous version, I dont
like to try it again:

having two directorys with equal names, one is
subdirectory of the other one, moving the second
one to the first, using windows explorer, resulted
in a harddisc-crash of the server (defective dir-entry).

e.g.

dir0
 dir1
  dir1

moving dir1 to dir0 in explorer ...
